Oil Recycling

Never pour oil or chemicals down storm drains! Did you know that just one quart of used oil can contaminate up to 250,000 gallons of fresh water? Used oil contains small quantities of substances that can contaminate air, soil and ground water. They may contain trace metals, chlorinated solvents, gasoline, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, glycols and PCBs.

Instead of contaminating soil and water and taking up space in a landfill, used oil materials can be recycled and reprocessed into useful products. Consult our brochures in English and Spanish on how to safely recycle your oil and check out our list of oil recycling facilities in and around the Anacostia watershed below to find the facility closest to you!

If you see someone illegally disposing of oil or chemical wastes, call DC Environmental Crimes Unit, 202-727-1000 (in DC), or Chesapeake Bay Environmental Enforcement Coalition Environmental Hotline: 1-800-377-5879 (in Maryland). For links to additional recycling contacts,
